Apple has said that it will cooperate with the investigation of
the death, according to multiple news reports. The company did
not immediately respond to calls and emails requesting comment.

It's not clear how an iPhone could carry enough voltage to
inflict significant harm. But the relatives of alleged victim Ma
Ailun, a 23-year-old woman from China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous
region, are demanding answers from Apple and warning others
through social media not to use their iPhones while they are
charging, the report says.

The older sister of the alleged victim took to the Chinese
version of Twitter, Sina Weibo, with her plea. "(I)
hope that Apple Inc. can give us an explanation. I also hope
that all of you will refrain from using your mobile devices
while charging," the report from the Xinhua news agency says.

The father of the alleged victim says the body shows signs of
electrocution, though there was no definitive connection to the
iPhone, local police say, according to the news report. The
alleged victim had been a flight attendant at China Southern
Airlines but recently left her job.
